Universities UK and GuildHE have called in agency support for a campaign to educate students about their right to adequate accommodation.

Kindred will deliver a campaign to raise awareness of The Student Accommodation Code.

The code, which protects students' rights to safe, good quality university accommodation, was developed in 2006 as a sector initiative to promote high standards of university-managed accommodation.

The Kindred team, led by client services director Lorna Gozzard, will report to Mark Swales, director of estates and facilities at Sheffield Hallam University, who is also chair of the Universities UK sector advisory group for the code.

Swales said: 'It's vital that more students and their influencers are aware of the code, and we are looking forward to working with Kindred.'
